    Being a Guest Speaker, we were making Books of Happy Planet, children can finish them at home by taping the pages together. They came to the conclusion that the main responsibility is to make people happy, to choose the job according to their interests and do it well. Roleplaying with Timo and his pet fox (Anton) and me as an animal doctor (who had skipped one day of school and as a result could not help but could just play with the fox) children got indignant and realised why for our happiness it is important to go to school every day. Thanks to them all - we had fun :-) Some talked a lot, the others were creative in Art. They answered all my questions and were very much surprised that mummies and daddies can also study, not only schoolchildren) /Darya

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...
